Aunties and Uncles in Training

Aunties and Uncles in Training is an Indigenous female and male mentorship program that connects high school Indigenous students with community members through for-credit land camps. The land camps combine cultural teachings and Two-Eyed Seeing (Elder Dr. Albert Marshall, Mi’kmaw, Eskasoni First Nation) STEM activities by building relationships with community members, Elders, Kokoms, Aunties, Uncles, Mushums and post-secondary institutions. In this session we will share our experiences from the program last year and where we are going this year. Feedback from students, families and community members has been very positive. Details of the programming will be shared.
